ARC Commander Solus + 223rd Grenadier
BIO: ARC commander Solus is the leader of the 223rd Attack Battalion or "Kad Prudii" (translated loosely as "Sword's shadow" in mando'a). Commander Solus was stationed on Cato Neimodia under the command of Jedi General Plo Koon, after Commander Cody and Jedi generals Anakin Skywalker and Obi Wan Kenobi secured the purse world. During, the second battle of Cato Neimodia, Commander Solus led ground forces into battle against the droid armies and emerged victorious. After the declaration of Order 66, Solus ordered the execution of Butlar Swan, a Jedi Knight and Padawan of Plo Koon's.

Any comments are greatly appreciated LMK what ya think! :P

FYI: The [image] tag doesn't work on JD. Use img instead. :)
I really like these guys Miseria. The blue paint has real depth... did you use two colors or is that just a byproduct of the weathering? Either way it looks great. The gear on your commander is great. I would buy multiple castings of that blaster if you made them (hint hint).
I really dig the Heavy Clone sans the shoulder pauldron. It makes him look closer to a grunt. The assymetrical paint ops on him are a really nice touch, too. I need to use that idea... I've seen it a couple of times lately and like it every time :)
The only real suggestion I have is to blend in the pouches on the ARC kama a little better. Either paint them white or paint the regular Clone belt pouches gray to match.
Fine, fine work here. Pat yourself on the back.
-
These are some great looking customs. I think the weather is just a BIT much....I know I'm in the minority in that I prefer understated weather at most.
But this is still wonderful work.
-
InRem- ya i was thinking about blending those pouches in. It doesn't stand out as much in person, but i definitely didn't want scuplt over it because i wanted the pouches to show. Maybe i will paint them gray though to blend them a little better. As for the painting, i only used one color. I use citadel colour paints, "Midnight Blue" if you're interested in the same color :). as for the blaster, ya you could cast it, but its real easy to make on your own. Just cut the back reciever off a dc15 rifle, cut the stock off, cut the barrel tip off, and glue the barrel to the reciever. DONE! you got yourself an ARC trooper Dc-17 pistol. :)
Quazar- Ya i agree i did (accidently) go a little bit overboard on the weathering. His body turned out alright, but his i think his kama's weathering needs to be reduced
thanks for the comments guys! ;D
-
Nice work man, they look as if Hell paid them a visit. great idea on the kama, I'll be posting some of my clones soon, I used a similar tech on my kama as well.
keep'em coming
-
I'm glad to see you posting here again, we've missed you. ;)
ROTS ARC Trooper - Very well done my friend! I must say this really looks like a great design even for the film perhaps. The dark blue paint scheme really makes it look realistic I think, and makes the color blue seem menacing.
BACARA Helmet Trooper - Another great addition to your Clone ranks I think. Perhaps a bit too much scratching of his paint on the helmet, but that's ok - he looks like he's earned those dents and scrapes in his armor. Well done and I think better than the Bacara repaint they threw in the Target 5-pack.
:P

Hey last night I finished up a spur of the moment custom. i I watched and paused over the scene from Order 66 and used screen shots from online so i'm pretty sure it's accurate. Unfortunately, i dont own any saga speeder bikes because i think it would be a much better base then the POTF2 model.
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/TheMurderWeapon/IMG_0546.jpg)
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/TheMurderWeapon/IMG_0543.jpg)
I angled in and corrected the speeder bike steering handles to be a bit more accurate. If i can get a hold of some sort of wire, maybe i'll re create the cables on this thing.
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/TheMurderWeapon/IMG_0544.jpg)
The Neyo symbol could have turned out better, i dont have a decal set so i couldnt make one large enough, so i ended up having to paint one and it proved a bit more difficult to make a circle with painters tape then one would expect :crazy: :(
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/TheMurderWeapon/IMG_0548.jpg)
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/TheMurderWeapon/IMG_0547.jpg)
excuse the clone trooper as i haven't yet decided the cost for a pull apart barc speeder was justified :p
LMK what ya think? :cool:
I can't seem to get pics appearing here can anyone help me out ???

You have to use the abbreviated img tag... I fixed it. :)
Sweet looking bike, BTW! I've been thinking of trying the same thing myself. Nice job!

Welcome to JD.
To post images, use img instead of the whole word image.
If you forget, you can always click the little "insert images" button from the toolbar... (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/Themes/classic/images/bbc/img.gif)
-
It's just img in brackets then? ??? sorry im computer illiterate, but thanks for picking up my slack again Inrem :P
Sorry for the clutter :(
-
And thanks to Jeff, too, who is collecting your work for easy reference :)
Yeah, just img in brackets. I'd recommend using the button as suggested by Jeff.

My arc trooper:

(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/TheMurderWeapon/IMG_0554.jpg)
I opted for the commander #33 skirt as it covers a little more of the legs than the Evo skirt. I trimmed it in blue and dry brushed white over the blue markings and black over the skirt and armor. Made it a little heavier around the legs to cover up the "yellow" look although mine was a little more brown-ish than chewie's. :cool:
got the pictures right now : P
-
That speeder bike is very boss. It is a little overboard on weathering but I know its hard not to get carried away doing it. I also like the clones. For the first blue ARC you should definitely color the bags on his legs. They blend a little too much and should add another level if detail. The second blue arc I think is a better paint job. It's good to see the AOTC clones with removable helmets.
Welcome to the group! :D

501st legion Trooper
hey guys, this is my first attempt at this design, definitely not my last. i think my only real problem area was the chest design, but it turned out good enough. Some of the blue came off his helmet when i was tinkering with it so you'll have to excuse the yellow around the visor.
Parts: Ep2 evolutions body
Ep3 Evolutions bly trooper helmet
Ep3 evolutions (at-te gunner style) head
Evolutions Dc-15s

the ARC trooper is really cool, i like the weathering on that bike too, it's not too much imho, vehicles can get that dirty
-
Nice work, Miseria.
ARC Trooper:
I may have commented on this guy elsewhere, but for the record, very true to the way I envision ARCs in my mind. The blasters are awesome (and I will make some of my own per your recipe). The blue paint is a little soft-edged (meaning it has bleeding or uneven lines) in a couple of places (chin, kama), but those are only noticable on very close inspection. Quite frankly, Hasbro has a serious problem with that on most of it's painted Clones, so don't worry too much about it. :)
The 501st trooper is a nice piece of work, too. Your color choice is good, and your scheme seems to me to be very faithful to the movie. You can see a touch of the yellow on the helmet, but you already knew that. Your weathering is convincing. I like the black flecks all over...it looks like he was dodging saber deflections and hitting the floor repeatedly in the process.
I also want to say that I appreciate how you've presented this guy. We get to see him in some context, which is cool. It's the second time I've seen you use "Be one with the Force, Jedi", and I love it! :)
Good job!
-
ya i was thinking about straightening up those lines on the arc's kama and helmet, but what can i say i'm lazy :P Thanks for all the comments InRem ;D yours (among a few others) is an opinion that has much value to me as your customs are great as well and wonderfully imaginative. You've done what no other could....make me want to buy Mina tillis :P
-
Mate your figures are great I'm a big fan of the old clones and I really like what you've done the paint apps and weathering are awesome especially on the speeder you've given it just the right amount of weathering without going over board well done.

I painted this one up in the scheme he had in clone wars. It was kind of a just for fun custom, from a while back. It'll probably be up on ebay pretty soon as i have no use for it really :crazy: it was pretty much my first custom(vehicle, cody was my first figure)

Pretty cool paint job. I like the green scheme a lot... I might suggest painting R2 a bit, just to make him look like a different astromech. Good work though!
:P
-
hey guys. This is a speeder bike I painted up in a 501st paint scheme. I also painted a At-Te gunner in the 501st paint scheme(as he is the only clone with hips to ride the speeder bike he was my only choice, despite the flaws of it shares with the tac ops trooper :crazy:)as well as corrected the steering handles as i did on the Stass Allie speeder bike. I added an antenna on this one for long range transmissions and have given the clone a scout trooper pistol. Hopefully i'll find something to make a holster for the pistol. I'm considering making a holster for a DC-15s rifle as well and putting it on the bike itself.
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/TheMurderWeapon/IMG_0570.jpg)
The antenna is visible in this shot. i used the #41 antenna for that piece. I painted the rear panels and near the seat in a similiar fashion to that of stass allie's bike and added sections of blue towards the front of the bike on the under body's paneling.
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/TheMurderWeapon/IMG_0572.jpg)
I also painted stripes down the center (to go with the ones found on the 501st trooper's legs). I was considering doing the "a" symbol found on their chests, but i wanted something a little simpler as i thought it might be too much blue. Especially with the painted trooper that rides it.
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/TheMurderWeapon/IMG_0571.jpg)
Weathering was done in the same way as i did the stass allie bike accept i toned it down a bit on the bike's body.
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/TheMurderWeapon/IMG_0573.jpg)
I also added thick stripes to the front piece. Very similar to the stass allie's red paint job on the front accept i wanted to keep a bit more white showing.
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/TheMurderWeapon/IMG_0574.jpg)
The 501st scout reports droid troop movements to his superior.
LMK what ya think? :cool:
-
Nice work.
-
Murder Weapon, this is outstanding work. One thing I'm always afraid to try is customizing vehicles. But you did a superb job. Love it, it's original, fits in well with established designs and is executed perfectly. The lines are very straight too. Would think this would be a no brainer for Hasbro to make...
:P

BIO: The Shadow troopers were elite amongst the clone ranks. While not genetically altered like their ARC trooper Brethren, the shadow troopers were subject to rigorous and special training. Off planet, on Bothawui, they were trained in Espionage, Sabotage, and other Stealth operations tactics, by the leaders of the Bothan Spynet. Also, on camp, Kal Skirata, former mandalorian mercenary and Republic Commando instructor, taught them demolitions, pathfinding, night operations tactics, and escape and evasion. During the final days of the clone wars, the shadow troopers saw their last confirmed action on Utapau. There they reported General Grievous' droid army there, Cleared minor Landing platforms for the rest of 212th attack battalions landings, and marked drop zones for the 2nd Airborne "Parjai" troops. It was rumored that some had gone on almost 3 years after the Battle of Yavin and became members of the Black Hole Stormtroopers.
This is the Communications specialist that reported General grievous' army on Utapau.
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/TheMurderWeapon/IMG_0581.jpg)
He carries a navigation pad to keep track of Drop zone positions and other troops of his squad in case of seperation after the drop.
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/TheMurderWeapon/IMG_0582.jpg)
With little assurance that any relief is coming, the shadow troopers carry enough equipment to sustain them for 13 days. This includes ammunition, food, and night operations equipment for movement during dark hours. This trooper as a comms specialist also carries an extended battery for his comms pack and long range transmission antenna. On the bottom of his pack a Pathfinder DZ marking device can be seen. The trooper also carries a demolition charge on his left leg.
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/TheMurderWeapon/IMG_0586.jpg)
This trooper carries a DC-15s with slight modifications. A starlight scope has been added and the muzzle break has been modified to reduce the noise of the tibanna gas discharge. Also on the trooper, is a Dc-17 compact pistol with extra ammo on the drop down holster, as well as his shoulder.
Parts Used: SA Clone #41,Evolutions Clone holster (painted grey,from yellow set), POTF2 biggs darklighter rifle (stock), Jango Fett Final Battle jetpack, Dc-15 rifle scope from #6, Dc-15s from #41, Antenna from #41, Backpack piece from POTF2 sandtrooper pack, Sheet styrene, Warhammer 40k bit, cloth material painted black, and ammo bandolier from Clone Commander #33
PHEW that was fun :p
-
Wow, this is a sweet concept! My radio clone and your Shadow trooper can play phone tag now. :p You have a very strong concept - and even worked this guy into RotS Canon! I like that his would be words that sent Obi Wan on his last mission for the Old Republic.
Pros: That pack is clearly Star Wars parts, yet I don't even recognize the parts individually. It's a whole new piece. Nice work there!
The modified DC-15 has me *jealous*. I think I might have to start bashing together weapons for all my new customs; the new weapon really looks like it came that way.
The additions to the armor are very believable. The inclusion of a charge on the left hip is consistent with the kind of work we'd expect this guy to do, and the extra packs on his shoulder give him a little more capacity for toting ammo and such without getting in the way. The palmtop device works well, although I wish that thing folded up :). Finally, the holster is blended very nicely into the right hip... very natural look with the position you've given it, too.
I'm not sure if I like or dislike the mesh over the shoulders. I like the idea very much, but I think something needs to be done to clean up the edges. It appears that the cut skips a course of weaving there... try following a single cross-hatch to get a cleaner, straighter appearance.
The only suggestion for you I have is to work on straightening up those lines. On first blush it all looks so great, but on close inspection some of those lines could stand to be revisited. I'm not saying I could or would do better - I probably couldn't - it is but a suggestion. :)
Very fine work here, and thank you for sharing it with us!!!
-
Wow, this is a sweet concept! My radio clone and your Shadow trooper can play phone tag now. :p
Ooh! Ooh! Can mine play too?
Anway, I didnt' really like the way the ST looked until I saw yours. Awesome concept, and I really like that you scratchbuilt on a 41 clone. That was an extensive bio, did you come up with most of it yourself? I really like the backstory to it. I agree with InRem, maybe straighten up the lines and the cloth a bit. Either way it looks awesome. I might have to make a fanfic trooper in the Shadow Troopers legion now. Great job.
-
Good job I hope my guy can get in on the fun

Phone tag! Yay! But what's the point if both yours and C_M's are on the same planet? It kinda defeats the purpose. :( We'll put C_M's in a different sinkhole. I'm on Kashyykk, and I have no idea's where InRem's is. By the way, jaybird, that's pretty sweet looking.
-
Thanks for the comments guys! (more than i got at scum with 86 views and 2 comments ::) )
InRem- Ya i could definitely straighten some of the lines,although in person for some reason they dont appear as crooked as well as brush marks dont appear as vividly as they do in pictures.
The backpack is Jango Fett final battle jet pack with the exaust ports cut of and squares cut into it. Then i glued it sideways.
I should clean up the mesh a bit as on part got glued in place behind the backpack :( and is making that part uneven.
Darth_Nirvana-Thanks DN i tried to make him look a little bit more like a soldier. Kind of inspired by a show i was watching about the 101st airborne during WWII and i realized not a lot of the clones actually carry equipment for various jobs. They're more like a one track clone meant for one thing. So if this guy was elite i figured why can't he do it all. As for the bio i wrote the whole thing myself working in different star wars characters to make them seem a little more than just a dumb target exclusive. I also sent my story of them to wikipedia's star wars section I dont know if they'll keep it though.
JediJayBird-That is an Awesome Trooper you got there! Weathering is very nice, radio turned out believable as well as great use of soft goods. I actually almost used that rifle for my Radiop man actually :P
-
Damn I need to get some orage troops... >:(

As the wee' morning approaches at about 5am here in cold cold during the winter time California, I've had a bit of trouble sleeping. You know how it is! you toss, you turn, you wake up, you make a galactic marine! same old same old. :p
I took some darker pictures, that i think turned out looking pretty cool, but if you wont brighter ones i have them.

'My obligatory "be one with the force jedi" shot'
Parts Used:SA #41(head top half removed to fit commander helmet, body), CAOC commander helmet(face removed and dremeled out), Mesh material(shoulder pads and face mask), Dc-15A rifle, POTF2 snowtrooper(backpack), SA #41 dome of helmet (backpack side pieces), POTF2 Sandtrooper (long tube on backpack), Evolutions Ep3 clone yellow (kama w/holster removed), Steyrene (boot straps and detailing)
far from perfect i know, but not too shabby for the parts i had to use. LMK what ya think? :cool:
-
Galactic Marine - Very, very nice use of parts and the end result is outstanding. Really a great figure, I love seeing how people are being creative and contantly using different cloths for the face mask part. How are you getting the mask part of the cloth to stay on?
:P
-
I commented over at RS on how much i liked the figure, paint apps and weathering, but the veil may look better if it was a different material...
Otherwise Great stuff.

:P
Thanks chewie :), the face material is actually pressed together with a dot of glue on the back of his head(under thered helmet). First i cut the mesh material the appropriate length and rounded it and then added a dot of super glue to the back of the helmet to keep the two together. The face mask can actually be removed withou taking off the top red part of the helmet.
Glassman-Thanks I did try and lighten up on the weathering this time around some of my figures are a bit overdone :-[. While, it would be better to have a different material for the face mask(for texture purposes) i didn't have anything else smoother, but found this mesh stuff to be very easy to manipulate.
thanks for the comments guys!
-
I left most of my comments over at RS. Great job on this, easily one of the best Marines I've seen.
-
That Galactic Marine is definitely one of the best so far. The softgoods mask turned out well, what material did you use? I like the way that you attached it to the mask.
-
hey guys! Here's a few Customs I just finished off to bolster my 501st ranks.
501st Support Gunner
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/TheMurderWeapon/IMG_0636.jpg)
I used some of concept appo's paint scheme with some added pin stripes that run across the leg(as opposed to down the length). added some steyrene for the straps, added ammo pouches from a bacara kama. finished it off with a old G.I. JOE rifle from my bits box.
501st SA/w removable helmets (EVO clone to the far right)
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/TheMurderWeapon/IMG_0640.jpg)
removed the neck post from the At-te gunner and added it to the #41 body. For the first two on the left. why the middle one's legs are so clean i have no idea :confused: Last one on the right is an older Evo clone custom. Ep2 evo body with ep 3 commander helmet.
TEMPLE RAID
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/TheMurderWeapon/IMG_0643.jpg)
And just for fun a shot of the nighttime raid on the jedi temple. You can see the "leftovers" to the back left of anakin :p
LMK what ya think? :cool:
In response to Gergorbian on the marines: I'm actually not sure what material it was. I didnt have capes for a few vintage snowtroopers so i made those kamas for them out of that material, but then cut them up for the masks on these marines. some people thought it looked like material from a sock, but thats not it :(
-
Nice 501st clones!
I made my own a while back using your technic, the gunners head on a 41s body.
I made Commander Appo, your customs are excellent!
I cant wait to see more!
-
hey what about the custom anakan
-
hey what about the custom anakan
thanks for the comments guys.
Clone Commander Gr: Ya it comes out great huh? : ) i can't wait to start appo as soon as I get another At-Te gunner.
Starkid500: It's not so much a custom anakin as it is evolutions anakin with the robe from the CW jedi knights Multipack : ) i guess you can call it a kitbash, but i just thought it looked cool.
-
Booya! Great update buddy. I always enjoy seeing your work. The clone craze seems to finally be dying down some, but by all means it's great to see some well done 501sts. Love those #41 bodies you used. And excellent painting and the Anakin kitbash is great.
:P
-
Your Clones look great! Nice work and I really like that you went the extra mile and put the AT-TE Tank Gunner head on the #41 body. Did you do the hip-swap also? Nothing beats a SSA Clone! ;)
The paint apps are crisp and the weathering is really well done - not too much but it still fits in with hasbro's weathered figures (of course yours look much better).
I like the paint apps on that heavy gunner, the helmet design really works. Great update!
-
The troopers all look great the weathering is top class stuff and I like the cloth face covering on the marine well done mate.
Ron

Hey guys. back again with some Custom Galactic Marines :p
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/TheMurderWeapon/6321ac7c.jpg)
The marine on the right is V2.0 of my Galactic marines with the orignial on the left of Bacara. I swapped out the bacara head and threw it on an SA body as well as the Kama and Pauldron. Here's a few more shots...

THIS ONE HERE IS VERY SPECIAL! my girlfriend decided she wanted to paint a clone after she saw a few of mine and i had an extra bacara body left over so i figured what the heck :p She's a natural for sure cause I did NO painting on this ABSOLUTELY ZERO i didnt even dry brush it! (just told her how :p) I didn't even tell her which parts to paint! it is completely original from her! :cool:
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/TheMurderWeapon/IMG_0659.jpg)
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/TheMurderWeapon/IMG_0658.jpg)
LMK what ya think? :cool:
thanks guys
-
Good stuff! I really like your take on the Galactic Marines - unique but there's no mistake as to what they are ;D
That's a great clone that your girlfriend painted - congrats! She is definitely a natural :)
Now give her a #41 SA Clone and she what she can do!
-
A nice set of clones there. I like the weathering and paint apps on the galatic marines. The only thing I don't like about them is the fabric used. The fabric in that scale looks too course and holie. A finer fabric would have seemed more in scale to me. I think it needs to be trimmed a little. Over all very well done figures.
As for the 501st SA/w removable helmets, I think the Evo clone came out the best. The letter A on his chest seems to be the most accurate. I like how the A splits at the end. It's funny how when making the same figure three times we get completely different looking figures.
-
Damn I really like your Marines. Would you be kind enough to post a detailed recipe?
The Bacara is simply awesome - what fantastic weathering!
:P
-
I love those marines!Your GF did a pretty dang good job too.Like Greg. said give here a SA and see what she can do.
My first galactic marine and SA bacara are MIA.I might send out a search party for them but thats only a maybe. ;)
-
thanks for all the comments guys! Pretty cool she actually wanted to do a custom i think! Phurby you also make a good point as to scale of the fabric lines and scale of the figure so i'm gunna pretend i didn't read that hahaha :P
-
These are basically just clone commander #33 repaints I did. Nothing from these troops come from the actual Hasbro Bly figure. I was particularly proud of the weathering and pauldron color so i thought i'd post them as I will also be posting other Order 66 edition figures (a few will be rehases of customs i've already done along with a jedi from the ROTS line) until i've completed every scene of order 66 from the ROTS film. The Jedi won't really be in the spotlight as they'll be just ROTS hasbro figures unless i do some retooling (after that i'll be packaging them in a ROTS multipack scheme each with special backgrounds). now without further delay...

COMING SOON: ORDER 66 #2- COMMANDER GREE AND THE 41ST ELITE
-
Well somebody had to do it! ;D
Nice job on them my man I like the work that you did on them. I think out of all the clones Bly and his troops are my favorite. I hope I can score 1 more Bly so I can match him up to my troops.
-
thanks for the positive remarks TR1ER! Come on dont be afraid to weather bly up! ;D
-
They look good but I am personally sick of weathering. I is getting out of control, as if every trooper never has claen fresh armor.
BTW, where is the cloak on Anakin from on page #1 ?
-
I like seeing some clean clones too, mainly the ones stationed on Coruscant. For ones on the front lines a lot though, I think some weathernig is nice. But at times it can be overdone.
:P
-

ya i tried to use a more grey weathering than black on this to just give a general "dirty" look and not so much a "battle damaged" look. You have to remember clones go from planet to planet frequently, so rest and time to clean off armor may not always be available or necessary :) As for the robe on the anakin from page 1 it came from a SAGA obi wan pilot. I believe you can get the same robe with VOTC obi wan as well.
Thanks for the comments Clone Hunter and Chewie ;D

BIO: Nuyiss Ma'b was a Jedi Knight during the clone wars. He led a clone unit to victory on Saluecami clearing away remaining droid units. During a quiet moment after a firefight he indecisively( ;)) halted his unit at an assumed deserted enemy base, while two droid units they were in pursuit of split up. The halt in his units progress gave time for enemy scouts to report the jedi's location and fire a heavy barrage on the outpost. Many lives were lost, but Nuyiss Ma'b survived the attack and was later transferred to the temple where he was assumed killed by Darth vader during the 501st legion's raid.

Hey I just saw this one over at CC nice job my man. I like to see some type of new jedi's every now and then.
-
Exactly. Its good to see the return of some jedi customs. Very fun.
-
Very nice colors on this jedi. The paint job is very clean.
Cool figure.
-
thanks guys! of course it was fun doing something that wasn't a clone as thats been the bulk of my work lately :P I was wondering if any of you figured out how to pronounce his indecisive name.... :P
-
I like it, but at the same time there are a few things I would change. Bear in mind this is just how I'd do it, as I do like this figure.
I might try a different set if arms, as those to me are just very POTF2-ish. I would try using more parts from existing newer Jedi figures. Really that's the only thing I might change, and maybe add just a bit of a wash or dry brush to bring out more details,
Fun to see a Bith Jedi though, and this is nice work.
:P
-
Cool Jedi and interesting backstory. :)
What is that base figure? The arms look strange (not bad-strange, but strange as in I've never seen them before). The figure looks nice and clean, great paint apps. I agree with CHEWIE that some drybrushing would make the figure look even better, however as he is now he would fit in perfectly with the hasbro Jedis (I tend to like clean paint apps).
Nice job on the Bly Squad also. The weathering looks good, especially on the shoulder pauldrons.
-
The base figure was a combination of mace windu ep1 (waist down) and cantina band member (waist up) 8) I would dry brush him, but i wanted to go for a more "out of the package" hasbro figure look. :)

-
You and your clones! ;)
I gotta go to bed, but these look great and I'll comment on them tomorrow.
:P
-
:o I swear to god man.
Great clone!
I tell ya' if I had more clones available I would probably be shooting em' out like crazy.
These are probably some of the best clones I've seen by far.
I especially like the removable helmets.
Great work! :)

thanks clone commander gr. 8) yes the removable helmet feature sells me on any clone. I think i need to straighten up a few of the lines, but other than that i like them a lot.

Hey guys i'm not too familiar with this game, but i've seen this "brand" of commando and i liked his paint job so i tried it out.
*pictures replaced :cool:

I play that game and this is a good replica of the Imperial Katarn armor, nice job CM
-
Honestly, I hate the design... but you did a great paint job. I hope that makes sense and don't think I'm dissing your work, because I'm not. There are some designs I just don't like, but you did very well on painting it.
:P
-
Well it's been a while since i've shown off one of my customs. Mostly, because i've been parts hunting :crazy:, but anyways here's what i did with an extra ROTS evolutions trooper from the Grey set.

I know this guy has (and clones in general) been done to death, but there is my rendition as the Hasbro Gree just doesnt make the cut for me. Any Questions or Comments are welcome as always.
Let me take this time to advertise that I REALLY NEED [color:"red"]BARC TROOPER PACK INS!!!!! [/color] okay im done :p :cool:
-
;D Cool man!
I am astonished by your customs!
They looks so down right cool!
I like the feature of the removable helmet and I think that most clone troopers should have had that done to them.
-
I like it.
-
i like the backpack on Gree a lot. nice solid paintjob with good weathering.
-
Whoa. That is insane that your Commander Gree is about 1000x better than Hasbro's version.
I really have to learn how to do these things.
-
I like this one a lot too, as I commented at Scum first where you originally posted it. The weathering is great. The painting is great, and so are the parts used. I didn't notice it before, but the straps in the pic w/ the helmet off, they seem to just "stop" at the top of the shoulders. Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Either way, still an outstanding version of Gree.
:P
-
Well here's what i got so far. Kinda looks like a Bust up hahaha :P
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/TheMurderWeapon/BARC%20trooper/IMG_0769.jpg)

"It's just a flesh wound" ;D
looking good so far

"It's just a flesh wound" ;D

hahahaha "Come here i'll bite your ankles off!" ;D
thanks jedijaybird
-
Looking good there.
Although, how do you get so many clone headsculpts?
-
I've gotten some in trades and some i just purchased. Most of them are AT-TE gunner heads on SA bodies. Actually while this one is progress, i've got a few more headsculpts being used as i'm putting togther a 212th legion. All of them will be SA removable helmet with evo weapons like the 501st legion. There will be a fair amount of cody's grunts as well as a few parjai airborne troopers and of course Cody himself 8)
-
Nice work there Miseria!
I cant wait to see your 212th Battalion.
I am currently working on a 501st Legion that will have them all featuring removable helmets.
Infact I think I'll go make some head casts soon enough.
I've got some cool ideas, like a clone pistol with a scope.
How did you get your gree's straps like that?
Mine are so far made out of old LoTR straps from belts and shields.
Anyways, nice work and I cant wait to see the finished BARC Trooper.
-
Thanks CC, I'll definitely get some pics up after i finish the 212th. Look forward to seeing your 501st legion maybe we can get them togther and storm a temple :P
As for gree's straps, did you mean the chest or leg? Chest was made using the sling off the POTF2 sandtrooper rifle and the Leg strap is off the back of an AT-TE gunner pauldron.
-
Well here's a bit more progress. The legs have been added as well as the boots. This is still a Mock up of sorts as Everything still needs to be painted and some details still need to be added aroudn the boots and pants.
here's a few pics of the progress so far...
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/TheMurderWeapon/BARC%20trooper/IMG_0771.jpg)

Current articulaion:
Swivel Head
Swivel Shoulders
Swivel Wrists
Swivel Mid-arm
Swivel hips
Ball Jointed elbows
Ball Jointed Knees
Ball Jointed Ankles
:)
-
I've thought about trying this myself, but have held off in favor of a simple repaint, and I might still go that route and use the upcoming VOTC Scout as a base.
Still though, this is great. His arms may look a tad long, but other than that I think it's looking awesome. Great mix of parts, and good luck with this one. I can't wait to see the final result.
:P
-
I think your barc trooper is comming along very nicly.
Is that a parjai trooper in the pack gournd??? Pics please!!!
-

Thanks glassman! 8) and yes...that is a parjai trooper in the background. I dont have any pics of him yet as he is a WIP still (need to do the bandoleers), but those removable helmet casts i got from you are working out great!!!! :)
i'll be sure to get some pics of them as soon as they are complete, along with the rest of the legion :)
-
Miseria, what are your plans on the thighs? Are they supposed to be armored, or more of a black jumpsuit? Either way, I think it will looks cool. Just curious.
:P
-
Well In all the pictures i've seen they're supposed to be pants material, not armor, so i tried to cut the showy mold lines that made it look like armor, i think if i round them out a bit more before i paint them they will be able to pass for pants :P I also have a few details left to do like the Pouches (which i cut off the original barc trooper and will probably just glue in place :P) and the 2 areas on the inner thigh where the material is a different color.
here is a pic for reference of what i mean...
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/TheMurderWeapon/BARC%20trooper/BARCtrooperlarge.jpg)
-
That's a good reference pic, thanks for showing it. I think however you do it, it will look good. I'm just surprised Hasbro didn't make this figure... imagine the armies!
:P
-
Hopefully i'll get what i'm looking for with this figure :-\ I've tried to keep it acurate while giving it adequate articulation to be on par with Hasbro figures (notice obvious lack of balljoints ;D) Thanks for the compliments chewie 8)
And yes... I'm as surprised as you are they didnt realease this figure during the ROTS line i'd have at least a 20 by now! :o
-
The worst part is:
We all know how they like to milk molds, so they could have just repainted an Endor Scout trooper. ???
That's a good reference pic, thanks for showing it. I think however you do it, it will look good. I'm just surprised Hasbro didn't make this figure... imagine the armies!
:P
-
very true :(
I'd hope at least if they get that lazy they use the new votc one
-
Whoa.
Exellent clone there man, perfect.
Except for the arms, as was said before they are a tad long.
As for gree's straps, did you mean the chest or leg? Chest was made using the sling off the POTF2 sandtrooper rifle and the Leg strap is off the back of an AT-TE gunner pauldron.
I meant the chest straps, I used some lotr belt material.
I havent gotten a leg strap because I wasnt sure how it would look and I tried to get a holdster on his leg too.
-
From the new pics of the VOTC Biker Scout Hasbro will be able to sub parts here and there and use most of the ROTJ Biker Scout parts to make a ROTS Scout.
A straight repaint would fall far short of what we should expect.
Great work on this custom, BTW. I've been following as much as I can, and can't wait to see how it turns out.
-
Thanks InRem! long time no see! 8)
-
Well i decided to take a break from my Barc trooper and finish off one of my WIP 212th troopers. He is modeled after the trooper that charged the crab droid and dispatched him from topside.I know his paint is a little off, but frankly i like my paint scheme better than the original which can't decide whether it wants to be triangular or round :p he has the extra back pack equipment, he is SA, and has a removable helmet.

Man your Barc trooper looks great very well done and I love the fact that you are trying to keep the articulation on him well done.
The 212th trooper looks very well done everyone knows that I love clones and this is no exception the backpack looks spoton and the paint work is really well done.
Ron
-
I can't wait to see how that BARC Trooper turns out; you are off to a great start so far!
That 212th Trooper looks good too. Your attention to detail is impressive, I had no idea that the "backpack" was different on that guy. Very nice stuff!
Keep us updated on that BARC Trooper!
-
Well i've had some progress with my ARCS. They're kind of my own design, based on the parts i had when i made my first ARC. The squad as a whole is gunna be sort of a mix of how they appeared in the different volumes of the CW mini series.
I will have Captain Fordo, some blue arcs with arc rifles, some blue arcs with dc-15s, an ARC mini gunner, an ARC Heavy Gunner (rocket launcher), a ARC quad gunner (At-rt head), and a few regular white clone troopers (one of which will include the Field Scanner they used to see through buildings in volume 1). By the time the whole squad is finished they'll be put into the brand new Clone Wars Gunship. Here's what i got so far (some have some paint apps to be done, and some adjustments to be made, but you get the idea :p).
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/TheMurderWeapon/ARC%20troopers/IMG_0779.jpg)
I'd throw them into the group project, but well ya know ::) :P ;D
-
:o Holy cow!
I havent seen your updates in a while!
I like your 212th attack battalion trooper alot, nice detail and articulation.
Are all of your 212th going to have removable helmets?
The ARC's are just plain cool.
I love what you've dont with the evo sets too.
-
Great ARC Trooper squad here!
They all look perfect (much better than the upcoming hasbro battle-pack), I love the fact that you are giving all of them removable helmets - are you customizing each face to give them all a unique personality?
Is that bazooka made from a marker of some kind? It looks very good.
-
hey guys thanks for the comments 8)
Clone Commander- Yep all of my 212th will have removable helmets as well as my parjai that accompany them. Then I'll be touching up (or rebuilding ???) the commander cody figure when hasbro releases it. My Arcs will all have removable helmets as well. 8)
Gregorbian- I have actually customized the head of one a bit, not the face. For Captain Fordo, I gave him some grey streaks on the side of his hair as well as a little it of grey hair in the front. Being the leader, I figured he could do with some experience. :P As for the rocket launcher. It's actually a cast of a Gundam Model piece, with some added steyrene and a Potf2 stormie rifle grip. ;D
-
Well, I cant come across any AT-TE Gunners so I cant have all of mine with removable helmets.
However, I have the evo set!
So I might be able to make casts I could!
Maybe you could call one ARC Alpha? :)
-
MOMMY MOMMY I WANT THOSE!!!!
I have to admit I havent checked this thread in a while either, man am I glad I waited. Are those all evo heads? And if not where can I get my grubby little paws on some? Excellent work.
-
By god they are all evo's!
He's a mad man, a mad man! :P
-
yep all clones are either EVO or At-te Gunner heads on SA #41 bodies 8)
-
:) Man, you are crazy!
Where do you find all your Gunners?
I found like 2 during the entire ROTS line.
-
trading mostly. in large amounts at a time :P
-
Wow, well I suppose I will have to get a couple of good things to trade with!
-
Wow, well I suppose I will have to get a couple of good things to trade with!
I actually i happened to find someone who was looking for episode 1 battle droids so ya you dont necessarily need rare figures :P hahaha
-
Oh.
I have a few episode 1 battle droids!
Cool.

Cant let this rot away!

Imperial Stormtrooper Elite during the early years of the rebellion...
-
Missed the arc troops don't know how I did that, They look great and the weathering is just right.
The ISFT looks great to me the green is a perfect colour and there is just the right amount of black on him your doing a great job so far mate well done.
Ron
-
thanks ron glad ya like em 8)
-
You know, I think I like this color scheme. I would suggest a little battle-damaged weathering but I like it. Also you may want to paint "inside" the leg joints a little. Depending on the angle of your camera, the white comes through some.
Looking forward to seeing this one finished!
-
I think he looks very cool CM, Some weathering, like dirt and scrathes may make it look better, but you idea about the styreene is definatley a good one.
Straps and such will add that extra level of detail.
-
Thanks guys. Ya i'm definitely gunna weather him after adding some steyrene details (found my glue! :P).
by the way glassman, the helmet is a extra you sent me when i ordered "fox" helmets 8)
-
Nice!
Its nice to see an update after so long.
I really like him, however I think the suit underneath would need some touching up.
-
BUMP FOR NEW PICS
-
Imperial Stormtrooper Elite during the early years of the rebellion might be my favorite custom you've done. It's really a work of art. Take a bow while I stand up and applaud!
:P
-
:o Whoa, what a huge improvement!
I like your addition of the visor, almost like Cody's and the weathering looks great too!
-
Holy crap. :o
That's amazing! It looks so much better than the first. Not that the first wasn't good, but you've added some much more to it with the accesories, custom gun, and visor on his helmet. I'll have to agree with CHEWIE, that is probably my favorite custom of yours, other than the Utapau Shadow Troop Comms guy.
-
Amen to all the comments above, the additions you made really make this figure stand out. I really like it!
-
thanks for all the comments guys glad ya like him 8)
-
Well been trying to get a head start on the imperials project at JD so here they are... i'm not sure if they really are imperials because i dont own the comics, but i hear he tried to make himself emperor so his troops and him are Imperials :p

Jax and the stormies in action
and just for fun a "purge" shot i did.. :p
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/TheMurderWeapon/Imperial%20troops/IMG_0811.jpg)
-
Very cool set of black stormtroopers and a wicked Carnor Jax. These were fun customs to make when I made them. I don't know if you seen it but the hasbro version of the black stormtrooper has a picture of a prototype on the back. The prototype is wearing a blue body glove. I think that would be a great detail to add to this figure.
Do you have any pictures of Carnor Jax without his cape? I would love to see how detailed you got with the armor. Are you going to make Kir Kanos?
-
:o Awesome, just awesome!
However, did you manage to get them completely black?
-
many many coats of "chaos black" got those stormies to stay that way. ;D
As for Carnor Jax i may get some more pics later. I did not get too detailed as far as his armor design, i really just made the paint applications, removed the knee pads, and thats about it. As for the blue body glove thing, I also thought this was a good idea, but i dont yet have the blue for it. I already tried with mine and the blues that i have are too light or too dark. :(
-
Those Blackhole stormies came out great. Its very hard to cover up all that white without having to cake on the black paint. Very smooth applications! I love the 501st commander, very clean lines and well placed weathering.

My new Photonovel will be entitled CLONE WARS: ZERO HOUR The photonovel will follow a clone grunt from the beginning of the battle of geonosis,through the action he later sees as part of Squad Seven, and his experiences as a Clone Commander .
The first character that will make an appearance is the protagonist...
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/TheMurderWeapon/Clone%20Wars%20Photonovel/IMG_0824.jpg)
BIO: THETA-2208 (Solus), at the beginning of the clone wars, served as CC-2224's (Commander Cody) second in command during the battle of Geonosis. Later after Major Jorrir assembled Squad Seven, CC-2224 called on THETA to help him lead Squad Seven where the two fought side by side on many occasions, and along side Obi Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker a few times as well.
Nuyiss Ma'b
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/TheMurderWeapon/Clone%20Wars%20Photonovel/IMG_0821.jpg)
Nuyiss Ma'b will fight along side Squad Seven on a few occasions on some Outer Rim worlds.

Orinei-Per-teris is a Cerean senator that though rumored to be Seperatist informant has been considered very important to Chancellor Palpatine's movement for a more secure Republic.
SQUAD SEVEN
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/TheMurderWeapon/Clone%20Wars%20Photonovel/IMG_0825.jpg)
Some of the members of Squad Seven as they will appear. The squad see much action during the photonovel, including their appearance in Labyrinth of Evil :cool:
-
Very nice update!
Nuyiss Ma'b - I find this to be one of your better customs, something really cool about Bith Jedi. The color scheme is interesting but I think it's fitting for this guy. I might suggest a very, very light dry brushing on his green outfit with a bit of tan paint.
Orinei-Per-teris - Neat custom, I like the body used but for some reason almost every time a Ki Adi Mundi head is used, it just seems like an EPI Ki Adi Mundi head. The only one I've seen that really seemed different was In Rem's version with the beard removed. Nothing wrong with your custom, I'd just suggest trying to alter the head a bit more. Also I'm confused as to how this guy could be rumored to be Seperatist informant (wouldn't he be arrested?) has been considered very important to Chancellor Palpatine's movement for a more secure Republic.
SQUAD SEVEN - Came out great. Did you use any Utapau clones here or all complete repaints? Looks like Utapau clones w/ AT-TE Gunner helmets? I've kind of quit using those helmets due to them just not being sculpted the same as the other clone helmets, but they do look good in your pic.
:P
-
Thanks for the comments chewie. 8)
Nuyiss Ma'b:Would i be dry brushing the entire thing tan or just parts of his outfit??
Orinei-Per-teris: Ya i was hoping the tattoo-ish thing would set him apart a bit. I was thinking of perhaps trimming the beard down to be just kind of a goatee instead of a full on wizard beard :P As for his backstory, i was meaning to say that amongst the senators he is said to be a seperatist informant, but since Teris is a strong suporter of the Chancellor, Palpatine manages to go out of his way to speak against any of those accusations.
Squad Seven: Thanks. No i used SA clones and at-te gunners head sculpts/helmets and Evolutions Weapons. The sculpt is a bit different than the #41 clone, but i think that it makes them look a little bit more "stormie-ish" by having bigger helmets.
-
I like squad seven the best!
I dont see why people think the helmets look terrible all of a sudden, people used them all the time before and never complained...meh.
Awesome customs though, I like Solus though he looks pretty neat and the jedi.
I cant wait for your photonovel it sounds awesome and should be full of wonderful ideas and customs! ;D
-
I always enjoy seeing your udates. It's nice to see a really active customizer at about the same age as me and your quality is always top-notch.
If I understand correctly, are you gonna make a photonovel? They're really fun, and it'd be great to see some of your customs in action.
Keep up the great work. :)
-
thanks guys 8)
Clone Commander- Thanks a lot. Ya i intend on having this feature almost all custom figures, as opposed to using main characters. Yeah Solus definitely looks a bit too "stock" in his AOTC armor, but he will only be featured that way for a chapter or so, because i'd really like to get into the Outer Rim Part of the Clone Wars, so that i can show them fighting alongside different units (41st Elite, 501st legion, Parjai Squad) as well as with some more known characters (I.E. obi wan kenobi, anakin skywalker, Ki-adi-mundi, plo koon. Scorch will even be featured in the 1st chapter 8) )
DN- Glad you enjoy my updates man. How old are you? I am most definitely gunna get to "filming" photo novel just as soon as i work on making some back drops. I've already got a few vehicles of my own creation to be featured during the Clone Wars, but i still got a while to go until i get chapter 1 up.

Well, I for one never liked the AT-TE Gunner helmet. I just seemed less defined, and that happens sometimes with removable helmets. The AT-TE Gunner helmet sculpt isn't bad, it just isn't as good as the others to me. I'm one of those few I guess that doesn't like the removable helmets on Clones too. But it's still a cool feature.
On Orinei-Per-teris, it's still a fantastic custom and the tatoo does look great. I think that maybe one way to make it look even more different would be to maybe repaint his entire head, then do a wash on it. Then fine details.
:P
-
I love the helmets! ;D
I will be making a photonovel pretty soon with the 501st and many other legions will be involved too, especially during the battle of coruscant.
What vehicles are you going to use?
I would definitly suggest using the gunship(its a must :P).
I think I might go on the same page as you and spead named characters through out it.
I cant wait to see your PN and it sounds awesome!
-
thanks for the kind words everyone and can't wait to see your photonovel cc 8)
This vehicle will make an appearance in my upcoming photonovel. It is made over with a 212th attack battalion paint scheme. I also had some shots I was taking of my commander cody that I fixed up, but my camera battery died before i could get the pics. so for now this is my only update.

That bike is one of your best! :o
The paint applications are straight and the weathering is great, awesome BARC Speeder! ;D
-
Hi Commander_Miseria,
Nice repaint. That bike looks like it would have been part of the troopers unit. Also, nice weathering too.

thanks guys 8) I was kinda inspired because i noticed there was a trooper on a barc speeder, right before obi wan takes boga to get his saber from cody.

This is the squad leader for my fan fiction Republic Commando squad. His nickname is "kote" which is glory or might in mando'a.

Kote looks very good. His armor paint seems very much in line with othe other Commandos I've seen. I would suggest adding some weathering to the gun though.
-
Nice paint scheme, I think I like seeing a fan fic one better than the video game version.
:)
-
wow! i havent been on JD in awhile but i plan on being on more. nyways, i like ur customs miseria. how did u make those blasters for the ARCS. I also like Kote.

Hasbro, you bastards, are you paying attention here?
-
wow..this really makes me want to ditch my neyo project and re-start commander cody and his grunts.
great job..may I suggest to only switch cody's head so he looks older than his grunts.
-
ya i had the original head on there, but its so damn small, so for the pic i swapped it out :P
-
The BARC speeder look excellent very well weathered and the paint apps are great.
Now these clones are awesome great paint scheme great use of colours and most of very very well weathered.

did you have to take apart the speeder to paint it? 'cos it looks pretty difficult to paint it in one peice. :-\
-
Thanks for the comments guys 8) to answer the question about the BARC speeder, it actually wasn't that difficult to paint in one piece so i didn't take it apart. Was a bit tedious at times, but I wouldn't say it's too much of a pain and i would say the results make it well worth it 8)

This is another commando from my fan fic squad i was gunna do a while ago.

I made some additions to Kote, but Solus is brand spanking new.
let me know what ya think! 8)
-
Wow! Absolutely fabulous! Love it!
-
It's good to see an update from you, and that you are still around. Both Commandos are nice, but I prefer the green one. That is very well painted.
:)

thanks a lot chewie. ya im still around. I tried to get out, but you guys just pull me back in :P The green one is Kote my squad leader, and so far Solus, the blue one is the heavy weapons specialist.
-
See we told you not to sell your Arcs, and that you'd regret it, but did you listen noooo. At least we got you back in the game though. The new squad member looks good, may I suggest a bit of silver parts like scorch.

These are all very rushed pictures so sorry about the quality, i'll post better ones later.

501st-Cool concept, but shows a little too much individuiality for an imperial troop, I would think less blue somewhere.
Jedi-Good work, the parts mesh very well together. Cool paint too.
Security-Very good, I'm really diggin' these guys. Recipe?
-
Great work CM, You've been a busy guy.
Gotta love this pic!!
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/TheMurderWeapon/212th%20Attack%20Battalion/IMG_0830.jpg)
Great to see them complete.
-
The blue Stormtrooper looks just a tad cartoony to me but I like the concept.
The Jedi is the best of this latest update, or at least my favorite. Great paint scheme and design.
The UGP CC Security Forces look very nice and are a good concept. Nice to see someone take the lead and get some concepts started. Very well done.
:)
-
Thanks for the comments guys 8) ya i wasn't too fond of how the 501st troop came out either (especially since the white color sucks :'( ). Glad you guys like the others. I'll try and get some better pics up in a few 8) and a recipe for the security.
-
Not the most complicated custom ever, but i like the results and it was actually pretty hard to make. That damn cody neck post wouldn't stay put and then i had to dremel the helmet like crazy. Neck is a tad too long, but it gives him some height that doesnt look too extreme so i think i'm gunna leave it.

Looks great!
Now all we need is an SA, removable helmet Jango, and I'll be set!
-
That's a nice upgrade to the figure, well done.
:)
-
Sweet Boba, I did the same with a VOTC Stormy and a Cody head, they're great arent they?
Nice and small so you can just dremmel the helms out!
Very cool, I hope some day to show my customs.
-
thanks for the all the comments guys. ya that cody head sure is handy even if it is tiny as all hell :P
